“Swam inside your eyes”
SAFF 2018 Award Winner
The underwater world in Antarctica is a mysterious place of wonder and stunning beauty, but it is incompatible with human life. Visuals and music help tell the story of someone who left something of beauty behind, choosing to be somewhere safer, where they belong. The magnet of that place still haunts them and takes them back sometimes... even if just in dreams

Director’s Statement
I am a singer-songwriter and I started making music videos for my songs in 2012 although I had a passion for storytelling through song and visual art since an early age. I am doing a year long artist residency in the animation department at the Edinburgh College of Art that is allowing me to keep developing my film skills and use them in combination with music. My goal is to try and keep improving my work for as long as I am able to make films. My hope is that by doing something I love and work hard to achieve, people will be immersed in it and stimulated and inspired by feelings or ideas in a positive way.
